JAKARTA - The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) is ready to wait for the National Awakening Party (PKB) to declare officially Anies Baswedan running in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. This was conveyed by the Spokesperson for PKS, Ahmad Mabruri in response to the PKB's stance that had not yet been declared because of the Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Syuro Council, Sohibul Iman, who was pushed as a candidate for deputy governor (cawagub). "PKS is ready to wait for the attitude of the PKB DPP," said Mabruri, when contacted, Wednesday, July 24. According to Mabruri, patience is needed in building a coalition. Because his word, patience will produce a victory. "We believe that PKB will decide the best," he said. It is known that the PKB DPP has yet not yet determined its position regarding the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Although the PKB DPW Jakarta DPW has expressed support for Anies Baswedan. Deputy Secretary General of PKB, Syaiful Huda revealed, the reason for the DPP has not yet determined its position due to a number of considerations. One of them is the cawagub Anies. "Of course, there is a consideration to win, because in the Pilkada competition, if we want to have a figure who is committed to the struggle for the welfare of the people," said Huda at JCC, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 23.
